Chris, Saied, and Haroon kick off this episode of The Higher Standard podcast with a look in to dive deep into what was once the hype around the Bilt credit card program. The Flashy Rent Credit Card was backed by Wells Fargo Bank and is costing them $10 million a month thanks to some poor business decisions. Sometimes when something sounds too good to be true, it is. And yes, even big, sophisticated banks can make bad decisions sometimes.

➡️ Even though Chris forgot his introduction in this week's show and Saied stole the show closing, they still managed to provide some economic insights on the Fed holding rates unchanged, what the CPI report means for you and what could potentially be the "mother of all layoffs."
